Adapting To Change Through The Power of Dance

power of dance.jpg

This year has been nothing but normal, but in the midst of chaos, we've grown so much. Our goal at Valeo has always been to keep people moving, and staying happy and healthy. The pandemic has changed a few ways we typically do that, but we have adapted. Here's how!

Virtual Workouts

We have always found a way to reach our Valeo family, even when we couldn't meet face to face. Virtual workouts have always been something we wanted to try, and we finally had the chance to go for it. Self-quarantine was the push we needed to jump-start our virtual workout classes, and we're so glad we did! Since then, Valeo Dance Fitness has grown with over 379K subscribers on YouTube, with over 80 million views worldwide! In addition, we've connected with people across the globe through our choreography. This truly shows how powerful and connecting dance can be!

Our online workouts vary, just like our in-person classes do. Our workouts focus on healthy weight loss, stress relief, and strength. You have the chance to burn up to 1,000 calories in one hour as you tone your entire body, define your waistline, and strengthen your core. We combine intense dance fitness cardio with interval training to meet the needs of each of our participants. We add variety to our dances through the use of weighted hula hoops, free weights, fitness drumming, and balance balls. Every muscle works while you sweat!

Exercise is known for its wonderful benefits for both your body and mind. As stated before, clients are burning up to 1,000 calories per session and releasing stress in a healthy way. Our choreography ranges in style and music genre, so there is something for everyone! 

To learn more about our styles of dance and our virtual workouts, check out ValeoClub on YouTube! We have hundreds of videos to meet your needs and mood for the perfect dance workout. You can always find more information on the benefits of dance and what we do on our website. Don't let this pandemic keep you from working out, and join us online today!

Asiya and Dr. Kaufmann Win Big at the 5th Annual Dancing Stars of Atlanta!

Asiya and Dr. Kaufmann Win Big at the 5th Annual Dancing Stars of Atlanta!

Valeo Founder Asiya and her dance partner, Dr. Bobby Kaufmann stole the show, capturing two awards as well as the collective hearts of their captive audience, with a scintillating performance at the 5th annual Dancing Stars of Atlanta. The one-night benefit was an unprecedented success, as the dance teams collectively raised over $540,000.00 to fight Alzheimer's.

As noted on the Dancing Stars Atlanta Website, "Dancing Stars is an exciting benefit for the Alzheimer’s Association, Georgia Chapter. Reinventing the popular show, “Dancing with the Stars”, this fundraising event is comprised of approximately 10 local celebrity dancers paired with 10 professional dancers, all raising funds by gaining votes!"

Asiya and Dr. Kaufmann were the two big winners - taking home the coveted Mirror Ball trophy as well as the People's Choice Award! The victories were especially sweet considering the huge amount of time, training and personal motivation that the duo poured into their performance over the last several months.

Dr. Kaufmann's performance was dedicated to his late father, who passed away in 2002 due to complications from Alzheimer's. 

Keeping their nerves and emotions in check, the two performers delivered a crowd-favorite performance, worthy of the recognition they received. While there is no immediate report as to whether the two will team up again for a repeat performance next year, it is safe to say that on a night of Dancing Stars it was the star-studded team from Valeo which shined brightest!
